SourceBukele boasts against Maduro with imported leverage
The Salvadoran president has made an unusual proposal, which is landlocked, but serves to show the power he has gained thanks to the excellent tune with Donald Trump. I talk about a classic irritant, through which Bukele bullied Maduro by building over the narrative of Chavismo's political prisoners. “I want to propose a humanitarian agreement that contemplates the repatriation of 100% of the 252 Venezuelans who were deported (by Trump), in exchange for the release and delivery of an identical number of the thousands of political prisoners you hold,” Bukele said on Elon Musk's network this Sunday to the head of Miraflores Palace.
Caracas is not contemplated to respond to this except by insisting that Bukele is complicit in the criminalization of migration, that (at least) most of the Venezuelans deported by the Trump administration are not criminals, and that accepting the quid-pro-quo would send a distorted signal of Venezuelan political reality. Bukele's concomitance with the White House, getting up to his chest in a rather opaque legal dynamic in both local and international dimensions, has been widely criticized by activists and experts. The archbishop of the Salvadoran capital demanded yesterday, Sunday, that he not turn the country into a large international prison, an option that is open even to U.S. criminals.
Disappeared
Collectives of families of missing Mexicans demonstrated this Sunday by placing hundreds of search cards in the capital, accusing lack of response from the federal government and other administrative bodies to the acute crisis with disappearances. Claudia Sheinbaum claims that the issue is a priority and that it is not a practice condoned by the government. Many on the opposite side may argue that certainly the lack of solutions, and on the contrary the prolongation of this tragedy, at least makes the State complicit in the problem.
During AMLO's administration, there was much controversy over whether he was more concerned with discussing figures than searching for the disappeared. In a sometimes absurd dynamic, it is usually the relatives of those missed, organized in a genuine and committed manner, who make the most relevant discoveries in terms of clandestine cemeteries.
This Sunday's protest, according to EFE, is part of the National Day of the Searching Families, which is being commemorated between April 19 and 20 in the Aztec nation, with simultaneous activities across it.
“Although the state has not wanted to recognize the (problem), it does still exist in Mexico City, as in the whole country,” says a mother who lost track of her daughter some eight years ago. Since Sheinbaum's arrival in the Zocalo Square, there is talk of 8,000 new disappeared, which would average 40 disappearances a day. The Committee on Enforced Disappearances seeks to put pressure on the issue by including it in the agenda of the United Nations General Assembly.

Hundreds of thousands of children disappear every year in America. Their parents don't have much in the way of a movement. Perhaps this new crisis of disappearances will change that. It certainly should.
Thanks!
